FANS THRILLED BY A JUSTIN BIEBER SIGHTING IN BEVERLY HILLS

Word got out on the street that Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin were having lunch at Nate ‘n Al delicatessen in Beverly Hills, and an eager mob of fans gathered on the sidewalk outside to wait for them to walk out. This is the season when LA is packed with tourists craning their necks to spot a celebrity so they can brag about it when they get home. Justin and Hailey were able to consume their food reasonably undisturbed, but as soon as they stood up, the buzz started. Dozens of cellphones triumphantly filmed their nonchalant departure.

HOLLY MADISON: WHAT’S WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE?

Holly Madison became famous overnight when Hugh Hefner declared her his ”#1 girl.” She starred on the popular Playboy reality series The Girls Next Door for five years and young guys aspired to date her and young girls wanted to BE her. She left the show in 2010 with considerably more fame and money than she had before. Holly found success performing in Las Vegas, started a family there, got a divorce there, and now she’s moved back to LA. She’s still beautiful, works out faithfully, but there’s one FLAW. Those AWFUL hair extensions hanging over her shoulder! It’s time for a hair intervention…

RYAN REYNOLDS WOULDN’T MIND HAVING A HOUSEFUL OF KIDS

So nice to see that Ryan Reynolds is really a hands-on dad to his cute little girl James, 4. He took her to the Everafter kids boutique in New York and let her pick out a fluffy new dress. James was SO excited about her new purple frock that she insisted on wearing it out of the store. Ryan says he absolutely LOVES being a father and wants a bigger family – he and Blake Lively have two daughters and she is currently expecting again. Ryan says they’re “hoping for” twins – is that a hint?

IT’S STILL ALL OR NOTHING FOR GRACE JONES

Grace Jones has had a reputation for showing up hours late for concerts (sometimes not at all) but she was ALWAYS worth waiting for. The “I Need a Man” singer was gay icon before it was fashionable, and she was the toast of Studio 54 back in the day. We remember when she “discovered” club doorman Dolph Lundgren and he became her boyfriend. Her bizarre presentation and astonishing costumes have never been duplicated. Grace, now 71, headlined Brighton Pride this weekend and knocked ‘em dead…

WHAT DO JAMIE FOXX AND SYLVESTER STALLONE HAVE IN COMMON?

Sylvester Stallone and Jamie Foxx both have beautiful daughters (Sistine Stallone and Corinne Foxx) who are costarring and making their film debuts in 47 Meters Down:Uncaged. The daughters have something in common too: they were both Miss Golden Globe in past award ceremonies. The original 47 Meters Down two years ago, was a surprise hit among teen scream fans, and this version features four teens diving in a ruined underwater city where horrible things happen. So both girls are obviously good swimmers also.

Above, Sistine Stallone and Corinne Foxx are promoting the film in NYC.

TWO MEN WITH GREY BEARDS

Men with grey beards are pretty much interchangeable, and unless there is a vast difference in height or fashion we can’t tell them apart. These two guys are both well-known actors, who started out in Hollywood as “pretty boys” who shaved daily and got haircuts. They’re still nice looking, but you wouldn’t know it behind those shaggy beards. That’s Breakfast Club bad boy Judd Nelson on the left and Jeff Fahey (The Marshall) on the right. Jeff’s young girlfriend Kirsty Parsons is in the middle. Judd is holding his jacket and helmet – after their dinner at Craig’s, he zoomed off on his motorcycle, as usual.

JEFF GARLIN IS ENJOYING THE SEMI-SINGLE LIFE

Little did Jeff Garlin know, when he sat down to get pampered with a pedicure and foot massage at an obscure nail salon in Studio City, that a paparazzi would spot him through the window! We wonder what his Curb Your Enthusiasm costar Larry David would have to say about THIS. Jeff, 57, filed for divorce last year from his wife of 24 years, Marla, but it has yet to be finalized. He HAS been seen in the company of a couple of attractive women, however. Jeff is opening at The Improv on Melrose Ave next week with his new standup act provocatively called “You’ll Probably Get Laid.”

IT’S NOT EASY TO MAKE KEANU REEVES LOOK ORDINARY

The boys are back in town. Keanu Reeves is filming Bill and Ted Face the Music 28 years after the first movie, and he and his costar Alex Winter have grown up from being high school slackers to bored middle aged dads – both are still harboring musical aspirations. Right now Keanu’s popularity is peaking, so it was a challenge to make him less adorable. He was on set filming today and an awful haircut and drab clothing DID tone down his appeal…

QUENTIN TARANTINO’S INSPIRATION: BURT REYNOLDS!

Here’s something we didn’t know about Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood: the friendship between Leonardo DiCaprio’s actor character and Brad Pitt’s stuntman character was based on the lifelong friendship of Burt Reynolds and his stuntman Hal Needham. Burt and Hal had matching egos and machismo (not to mention gold chains and chest hair) and they were inseparable friends. Hal even lived in Burt’s guesthouse free for twelve years until he got married again. Hal died in 2013, and Quentin wanted Burt to appear in his movie, but Burt died last year.
